Splinterlands New Bot Exploit Exposed!

<center>
We discuss a bot exploit currently being used by large bot farms to extract value from the Splinterlands ecosystem.  We originally documented this bug around 3 months ago, but it looks like it wasn't addressed with the new Ranked Rewards and now bot farms are beginning to take advantage of it.

It's the largest bot farm doing this.  It's the <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@crootin/how-is-the-largest-bot-farm-adjusting-to-the-new-changes-in-splinterlands">"A-Team"</a>.  It's not like this is happening with multiple farms, this is one gigantic bot farm doing this.  All they do is find new ways to engage in win trading and have their bots feed seller accounts, which is the reason why we get such cheap Rewards and Chaos Legion card prices.  They think they are being cute by using multiple seller accounts, but they are all in the same operation.

The surrenders/rollovers are not based on ranking, but rather focuses.  An account with an ability focus that had a splinter focus the prior day in a rental is going to lay down to a bot with a splinter focus.  Splinter focuses enable them to maximize rShares.  If a bot account does not get a splinter focus for the 24 hour period, it remains dormant.

I think a good solution could be to force each account to enter a captcha every X battles (could even be 50 or 100). This wouldn't affect any normal player. Having to input a captcha every 1, 2 or 3 days is nothing. Having to do that multiplied by 1000 or 10000 would be insane. No one is banning bots with this. It's just making it very annoying to have too accounts.
